Join this town hall webinar to learn additional aspects of the various federal programs initiated due to the COVID-19 crisis. We will discuss not only what is in the law, but how companies can use these tools to survive the crisis and come out on the other side ready to grow.
Topics tentatively include:
• Which employees are eligible for paid leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
• How paid leave has been working and not working (or abused) and how companies can make sure the burdens under the act are shared
• Eligibility and the application process for PPP loans
• Loan forgiveness and how to make sure a company qualifies for 100% of the benefit
• How the federal enhancements to unemployment may help companies retain workers
• Details of the Employee Retention Tax credit
